World Cup! Yay!

We qualified for the world cup! How unusual (no really, it really is, it's been, what, 32 years?) for us! Yay for everything! But not the creme brulees that were a bit of a disaster today. But kind of yay for the orange cake-thingy we also made, because it has meringue icing, and the creme brulees used two separate yolks, so you have to make something meringuey to use the whites up. The cake completely (completely) disintegrated when we took it out of the tin, but we glued it back together with meringue, so, y'know, that's a yay on balance!

And it's nearly Christmas time! And I'm going to have High Tea tomorrow! And.... and... yay all round!

Trivia: What fruit flavour of beer is available at the Lowenbrau Keller?

star for Pun! And catie gets a star too, because she'sknown the last and restrained herself from guessing as soon as I posted in order to be fair. Well, maybe a half star. That seems fair.

To be pedantic, the beer itself isn't actually fruit flavoured. It's just Franziskaner Hefeweizen mixed with mango juice. Franziskaner Hefeweizen is a (non-mango flavoured) beer in its own right, unlike some fruit infused beers such as Timmermans Kriek Lambic (Cherry), Floris Apple (Apple) or Éphémère Cassis (Blackcurrant).

Now, I know your life's better for knowing that.

Well, that definitely deserves a star.

(Cat says I'm just giving out starswilly nilly, but meh for her.)

In other news, hey, Jez reads my blog! Gosh.

But I maintain that if you infused the flavour of a fruit into something, that's still pretty much fruit flavour, surely?
